A Note From Folk Era Productions, Inc.:

We are delighted to be a part of this project. The late Bruce Kaplan, founder
of Flying Fish Records, issued many records based on their artistic merit
and social significance and not their commercial potential. That they proved
commercially viable surprised everyone except Bruce. It is his example that
guided us to participate in the release of this album. It is also our belief
that music is the universal language; that, among other things, it compels
us to action, reminds us that much of what is achieved is accomplished only
after hard struggle, and reminds us also that there is much left to do.
The music of the Mississippi Freedom Summer at one time compelled action.
Let it now remind us of the enormous struggles of the past and long struggle
ahead to achieve justice, equality, and freedom.
